The Concordia softball team entered Wednesday's double header looking to go 4-0 against Siena Heights this season and distance themselves from the Saints in the WHAC standings. While they did not earn the sweep, the Cardinals were able to take one out of two to win the series 3-1 and record their fourth conference win.

After losing the first game 9-7 at Cardinal Field, Concordia stormed back from an early 2-0 deficit to win a close second game by a score of 3-2. Catherine Herriman (Fr - Adrian, Mich) pitched her way to her fourth win of the season.

The Saints (11-29, 1-11) got out to an early two run lead in the top of the first inning off a Jessica Singletary triple that would score Mariah Welke. Singletary had a hot bat against Cardinal pitchers as she went 3-4 on the day with the triple as well as two homeruns that cleared the right centerfield fence.

The home team would score all the runs they needed in the bottom half of the third as they put together a rally that would give them a 3-2 lead. Freshman Karen Greficz (Garden City, Mich) would get things going with an infield single. After a successful bunt single by Jeni Bollenbacher (Fr - Edwardsburg, Mich), Georgia Dewey (Jr - Marine City, Mich) hit a shot to centerfield that would score Greficz. Bollenbacher and Dewey would eventually score on a passed ball and a throwing error.

The Cardinals are now 4-11 in the WHAC (9-23 overall) entering Thursday's games against the University of Michigan - Dearborn. This will be the first meeting between the two teams. The doubleheader will start at 4pm at Cardinal Field in Ann Arbor.
